SHOW TIME: Daniel Lee, chief creative officer at Burberry, will judge this year’s BA fashion show at Central Saint Martins on June 4.

He will select the winner of the L’Oréal Professionnel Young Talent Award alongside veteran fashion PR Mandi Lennard, Sarah Gresty, course leader of BA Fashion at Central Saint Martins, and Rubie Costin of L’Oréal Professionnel.

Previous winners of the award include Grace Wales Bonner, Goom Heo, Yuhan Wang, Paolina Russo, Fredrik Tjærandsen, Eden Tan and Patrick Garvey.

“It is an honor to be asked to judge CSM’s BA Fashion Show this year. The fashion industry owes a lot to CSM, and I am grateful to have passed through its doors. It’s exciting to be able to show support to the new generation of creatives who are about to begin their own journeys into the world of fashion,” said Lee, who was taught by Gresty when he studied knitwear.

Upon finishing the BA course, Lee later moved on to the MA Fashion course at the school under the late fashion professor Louise Wilson.

Gresty said Lee, as a CSM alum, understands the BA Fashion ethos.

“BA Fashion lives in an art school. It is a unique fashion course. We aim to nurture, challenge and celebrate brilliant, diverse talents and ensure our graduates change how we think — not only about fashion but everything it can and should be — a platform for expression, inclusivity and change. Many of the most influential voices in fashion have come through this course. Lee is one of them, and we’re so happy to have him home,” added Gresty.
